How the math works
Net take-home pay in Germany is typically 58 to 62 percent of gross after tax and social insurance. Example: €50,000 gross gives roughly €2,550 to €2,650 net per month.
Payback = net out-of-pocket cost ÷ monthly net salary.
Part-time earnings during study can reduce total costs by €8,000 to €20,000 over two years.
The EU Blue Card becomes available at salaries from about €43,800 to €48,300 (2025 thresholds, lower for shortage occupations).
DCG supports visa, housing, and administration while Aartees prepares you on the Philippine side.
